You should really drive a Ford V-10 with the new 5 speed Torqueshift tranny; it is a hoss. Coming from 10 years of running a diesel, I can tell you that this new V-10 coupled with the Torqueshift tranny, you will be surprised. This V-10 is a high rev engine and thus keeps the rpm's up and does not drop speed easily. If you tow heavy, then get the 4.30 rear. I have the 4.10 and it has worked just fine for me. I tow a 16' inclosed trailer maxed out and have no problems towing across Idaho, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Montana. I also tow 4-4wheelers with little effort. Solo, I have embarrassed many new Chevy and Dodge diesels. I even had a run-in with a new 6.4 and ran a dead heat up to 80 and I was hauling an empty 4-wheeler trailer. The Ford V-10 has more engines installed in Class A and Class C RV's than any other single engine.......why, because it is reliable and will tow with the best of them.
